Researchers developing salt-tolerant enzymes
Source : greencarcongress.com
Researchers from the US Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) at DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have used a genome-based approach to identify and characterize a halophilic (salt-tolerant) cellulase (Hu-CBH1) from the halophilic archaeon, Halorhabdus utahensis. Such salt-tolerant enzymes, particularly cellulases, offer significant advantages for industrial utility over conventional enzymes, they said. The group plans to expand this research to develop a full complement of enzymes that is tailored for the ionic liquid process technology with the goal of demonstrating a complete biomass-to-sugar process, one they hope can enable the commercial viability of advanced biofuels. A paper on their work is published online in the RSC journal Green Chemistry.
